Current rank - 53k

[Sam @FPLSamsonite]

Been very inactive on here due to starting a new job and surprisingly doing the best I’ve done all season, up to 53k overall!🤣 Team is looking solid sitting on 4 free transfers, is this a roll this week? Seems straight forward but tempted by Sarr for Enzo?

[Sam @FPLSamsonite]

Played the wildcard as there was numerous moves I wanted to make to shift some deadwood.

Draft 1 looks not too bad, anyone notably missing?

Well what an absolute shambles of a week 🤦‍♂️. Don’t think that could’ve went much worse tbh - Wilson and Cash returns on the bench whilst the rest of the team stunk the gaff up. Not had a shocker like that since the first few GW’s but I guess it was overdue🤣 #FPL #FPLCommunity

[Sam @FPLSamsonite]

Was willing to wait out on Gabriel this week but I would be bringing him in regardless so why not now 🤷🏻‍♂️. Slightly regret the Bowen move last week but hoping he can pay off as a differential tonight. #FPL #FPLCommunity

That Thiaw haul has done wonders for my rank! #FPL #FPLCommunity

[Sam @FPLSamsonite]

Really crap week. Triple City flop absolutely killed my gains on rank I had made earlier in the GW. Already made two early moves to try and freshen up the side as Rogers and Bowen come in, with the plan to save money for Palmer GW22. #FPL #FPLCommunity

[Sam @FPLSamsonite]

Tempted by Dorgu…..

[Sam @FPLSamsonite]

GW19 Bus Team 🚌.

Could move early on Semenyo to Rogers this week but Semenyo is in great form. Will monitor his situation with the move to City and go from there. Do you think I make any defensive moves or is it not needed this week? #FPL #FPLCommunity

[Sam @FPLSamsonite]

GW18 - 286k -> 202k

Will take the rank gain after quite a tame week. Quietly ticking along nicely, the back to back 11 pointers from my keepers have proved pivotal the past two weeks. The dream for top 100k continues 💪 #FPL #FPLCommunity

[Sam @FPLSamsonite]

GW18 🔒

Fernandes -> Cunha
Richards -> Thiaw

Hoping Wilson is fit enough to play but Thiaw will do a job if relied upon - really like the next couple fixtures for him too so glad he’s in as cover. Definitely looking at Rogers for Semenyo next week. #FPL #FPLCommunity

[Sam @FPLSamsonite]

@FPLLarsson You reckon Semenyo plays? I’m in a similar situation where I’d like to move now but the replacements aren’t justifying me taking a hit to get rid of him.

[Sam @FPLSamsonite]

I’ve been so set on Ekitike captain this week - does this honestly change my mind now? Not even joking when I say I’m considering just changing it.

[FPL Olympian @FPLOlympian]

Captaincy for GW18 is set - Hugo Ekitike 🇫🇷©️

Can’t go wrong captaining a player at home against one of the worst teams in PL history, a winless Wolves.

With 5 goals in his last 3 games, Ekitike has both the form and the fixture to haul this week - and I’m confident he will.

[Sam @FPLSamsonite]

Moved early on Cunha for Bruno 👹

[Sam @FPLSamsonite]

Went with gut instinct and got this man in early! #FPL #FPLCommunity

[Sam @FPLSamsonite]

PLEASE no penalties 🙏

[FPL Focal @FPLFocal]

Thiago is passed fit and starts ✅
Henderson makes the bench after both missing out middweek.

[Sam @FPLSamsonite]

@SteadyFPL Went for him this week but I agree, I see him as more of a short term punt. Will be looking to move onto Bowen for GW20

[Sam @FPLSamsonite]

@Liversahs Had just enough to hold out for one more week tbf, money wasn’t the issue. I’m pretty sure Thiago does start but why risk him missing out when Ekitike is sitting there! Was happy to move a week early on him. Let’s hope he hauls this week 🤞

[Sam @FPLSamsonite]

GW17 team. Feeling very happy with this side as there’s not many players I feel I’m missing out on. Just got to hope Thiago misses out/blanks against Wolves to justify moving early on Ekitike. Good luck everybody! #FPL #FPLCommunity

[Sam @FPLSamsonite]

@FPLLarsson Would go VVD if I were you, simply for the extra attacking threat VVD poses. Can see both gaining DEFCON and both conceding so I think the attacking value of VVD justifies him starting over Richards

[Sam @FPLSamsonite]

Went with gut instinct and got this man in early! #FPL #FPLCommunity

[Sam @FPLSamsonite]

Anyone else tempted to just move a week early from Thiago -> Ekitike, regarding the uncertainty whether Thiago starts?
